It also means that if your really want to know how many seconds elapse between two events, don't use POSIX time_t.
Or use POSIX time_t and a function that determines the number of leap seconds between two absolute time_t values... except that it wouldn't work when either of those absolute time_t values falls on a leap second boundary, and wouldn't work if the list of leap seconds it uses is out of date (or doesn't cover the whole period for time_t values in the future). -- -=( Ian Abbott @ MEV Ltd.
